Make the movie your way. Surround yourself with people who know more than you.

Most of my nightmares that jolt me awake either involve the cosmos or something completely out of human control. In reality, I worry more about nuclear war, or war in general.

I'm a person that thinks time is very precious and our only commodity... It's so upsetting when I feel like something has wasted my time.

No I don't really write thinking about specific actors because it can get in the way a little bit.

Actors want to work. Give them characters they want to play, or a story they want to tell, and hopefully the budget will follow.

I've been obsessed with doomsday for a long time - the idea that different cultures respond to it differently, and religions will change people's outlook on it.
